I got enrolled at this giant educational institute right one month ago. It has exactly the same as I imagined it to be. My previous statement though doesn't necessarily mean that I had a very good time here. In fact I should confess this, I am not able to match up to the very high standards of this institute. I am from a small place and so has been my schooling. For the first time I have seen so large number of competitors for every single thing you try getting into. Every single interest of your is shared by hundred others. Having interest in a thing merely is not enough to sustain here. They need perfection. Perfection at the perfect level. Apart from the wide number co curricular activities, you will find nearly every one getting good grades in their examinations too. Professionally speaking, this is the best place for anyone to be in his college years. He will not have even a second to develop any wrong habit. But on a personal note, I everyday say myself...may be next day is yours'. It will take sometime but overall I should be happy. Had I been a machine I would have been happy but I have few organs that do not always analyze situations in a professional manner. Lastly I am very thankful to my mom. She is the sole person behind me and getting me admitted here..Hopefully I will go out from here as a far more improved individual.

Forget about your competitions and just focus on your interests whole-heartedly. There is no chance then that you won't be the best (in that area).

It is little bit hard not to get disappointed when you see such high level of confidence and you feel it more than you are not actually able to publish yourself apart from the crowd. But still on a fair note I am not depressed. I take it as a challenge too. I know even though I may not be at the top even after many attempts but the fact that in all this I will only do good to myself by burning out and consequently improving myself.

It is good to know that you have been enrolled into a very established educational institute. Having been enrolled in such institute would allow you to have a lot of improvement if you work hard. As everybody is competing in every aspects. You might find yourself stressed out or left out at times, but that shouldn't be stopping you from advancing. Since you know what your parents have been doing for you that enables you to be admitted there today. I guess you should really appreciate them and repay them by taking good care of them when you finished your studies.

First day at college is always a nervous day. New environment, new people, new syllabus and sky high hopes. But what is important is to enjoy this rare moment as after few days things will become same and u will start getting bored going to the college. So work hard, study well and enjoy every moment at the college. What say?

With determination, patience and belief in yourself, you will be a far more improved individual and you will pass every exam with flying colors. I remember when I was on my first month in college, I was very shy because I came from an all-girls school in high school and it is my very first time to have guys as my classmates. I can't even look at them. But as days and weeks had passed, I learned to overcome my shyness and started to get friends with them. I wish you well on your new environment and hope that you'll get to gain more friends in school.
